“What
a Friend We Have in Jesus”
Tune:
The Rose
UNISON PRAYER
We praise and adore you, O God, for
doing wondrous things in our lives - for loving and forgiving us. Even when we
become distracted by the events of our daily existence, we are aware of your divine
activity in our lives, prompting us to deepen our trust in you. Your desire for
us to live full and abundant lives has been realized in and through Jesus, your
most wondrous gift of all. He is the assurance that we are known intimately and
valued by you in ways beyond our human understanding. May our praise and adoration for such
goodness towards us be visible, as we respond to Jesus' appeal to take up our
cross and follow him.
Amen
